“Such a kind person and an animal lover to the core. Shinji loved having Maria over! She also gave love to our cat even though he didn't need to be taken care of. I can't recommend her enough, she clearly knows what she is doing and loves the animals that she sits. Will definitely keep in touch if we go travel again. Thank you so much!”
“Cassie has been such a wonderful caretaker for our cats. She spends quality time with the cats and ensures everything is clean and in order. Cassie goes above and beyond, was very flexible, and was such a big help. The cats absolutely adored her and seemed to really enjoy her company.”
“Rebecka is the best with my little one. She is very knowledgeable about puppies and gives very good, detailed feedback. I wouldn't hesitate to book her! She is very accommodating with her schedule as well!”
“Jessica was so great with the pups! We have a special needs dog with paralyzed hind quarters, and she jumped right in to learn how to express his bladder. She was a quick learner and very reliable. Loved all of the pics! Highly recommend and will definitely keep her in mind for future bookings :)”
“I have 2 dogs, one is a very fearful dog so he is hard to handle. Ben did a fantastic job. He was able to get them both outside for their potty breaks, something I wasnt sure he could do. He sent daily updates and photos. Its nice to go away and know even my difficult pup is well cared for.”
“Ann Marie was and is totally awesome (I’m contracting her on an ongoing basis). She has a genuine affection for pets, and she hit it off instantly with my 9-year-old Greyhound/Retriever. I give her my highest recommendation.”
About: I have cared for my coworker’s small dog and 2 cats over a long weekend (2 nights and three days). Pixie and I went for walks, and I made sure her food and water bowls were refilled and fresh and clean daily. I also kept the yard clean after her potty breaks! I am available for evening visits during the week and weekend, when you are in a pinch and need someone to take your dog for a walk and have a potty break. I am typically available weekday evenings after 5. I am available to travel to your home and care for your sweet pup where they feel most safe and comfortable! I can make sure your small dog is well-fed, walked, played with, and feels comfortable while you're away. I'm attentive, gentle, and always follow specific routines or instructions to help your pet feel safe, cared for, and loved.
“Zachary was great! He helped us out at the last minute and provided wonderful care to our big dog! Zachary was very attentive, he fed and walked Mischka and made sure he got his medication. He sent many pictures so that we knew that Mischka was doing well.”
“Erica was so wonderful with our needy kitty. She gave her lots of attention during her drop-in visits. Our cat wasn’t the normal basket case when we arrived home after a long weekend away. Highly recommend Erica for drop-in cat sitting needs.”
“Colin went above and beyond for our kitties. Literally sent so many photos and videos. Made sure to repeat back all of the info and gave us great update! 100/10 we love Colin and so did the kitties!”
“Katrina was the best with my dog and cat. She kept me updated every visit and they seem comfortable with her. She fed them and kept the space clean for them! I would definitely book her again.”
“So appreciative of the last minute help and so glad that our pup is so comfortable with them, she takes some warming up but they are easily becoming her favorite. Highly recommend and will absolutely use again and again!”
About: I have been caring for pets for nearly all my life. From cats and dogs to rodents and eveything in-between, I feel comfortable taking care of all animals at any age. I work full time Monday through Friday from 7am-3pm but I am available after 3pm and overnight on weekdays. Weekends I'm entirely available during the day and overnight. I am unable to care for pets in my home but I can take care of your pets in your home. I love playing with pets in a backyard or taking dogs for walks.
“Amanda was amazing with our two cats! She dropped in to check on them, feed them, clean the box, and give one of our cats medicine. She always stayed to play with them and she went above and beyond to clean up after them. They loved having her around!”
About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them. I work part time, which gives me a lot of time to do my favorite thing: pet sitting!!! I work part time and have a lot of time for my favorite hobby which is caring for these lovely creatures. I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company. I will make sure they are spoiled.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old when I got my first puppy! I have raised puppies, provided senior care, and helped train dogs with behavioral issues. I've taken care of all kinds of breeds ranging from small to large dogs. I spend a lot of time outside and believe our pups should always join when possible, I focus on teaching off leash skills so that dogs can get the most of their time outside with me. I'm currently working remotely and have flexibility in my schedule. I have time for regular bathroom breaks and exercise. I'm a bit of a homebody and make sure the pets get the attention they deserve! I have a large yard with a friendly dog to keep your fur friend company. I do have a couple crates of varying sizes to ensure your pet has their own space if they need it.
